<< back
forward>> Autumn along Highway 36 Shoot Date: 11-02-2007 |
The northern edge of Fern Ridge Reservoir west of Eugene, a haven for birds of all types. I'd tried to get pictures of these cormorants before, but as soon as they see a camera, they always take off (a typical bird behavior, I've found.) This time I carefully crawled into the back seat, opened the window enough to let my telephoto lens sit in the opening and was finally able to capture them. |
A few miles after reaching Highway 36, the road makes a turn and goes through Alderwood State Wayside, a wonderful forested area along a creek. Yellow leaves brightened the spaces between the many Douglas fir. This road is typical of main Oregon rural 'highways': one lane each way, and very little traffic at that. |
Creek in the same location, possibly Poodle Creek (there must be a story behind the name) since it's only a half-mile or so from Poodle Creek Road. |

Triangle Lake, west of the tiny settlement of Blachly. |
